History

Wyatt was originally called Pevey Switch, and under the latter name got its start in 1881 when the railroad was extended to that point. A post office called Wyatt has been in operation since 1895. The present name is after William Wyatt, an early settler.

The Cotton Belt 5.3-mile rail line, between Bird’s Point and Wyatt, was abandoned by ICC order on October 9, 1938. In late 1941, an oil pipeline was laid on the old Cotton Belt right-of-way, between Wyatt and Bird’s Point, to facilitate the transportation of crude oil by barge. Cotton Belt handled railroad tank cars from Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas to Wyatt for shipment by pipeline of the oil to Bird’s Point and trans loading onto barges. The 8.7-mile railroad line, between Wyatt and East Prairie, was abandoned by ICC order on April 25, 1980.
